【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers(低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
(1)For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?
A.To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B.To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C.To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D.To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
(2)Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A.His social skills could be affected.
B.His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C.He will cause the destruction of the world.
D.He might get separated from his friends and family.
(3)Which of the following may be the author's attitude towards phubbing?
A.Supportive.
B.Opposed.
C.Optimistic.
D.Objective.
(4)What may the passage talk about next?
A.Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B.People addicted to phubbing.
C.Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D.Consequences of phubbing.
【答案】
(1)A
(2)C
(3)B
(4)C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,现在越来越多的人使用手机,而且使用手机的时间越来越长,频率越来越快,很多人成为了低头族,这给自己和社会带来了很大的危害。文章就此社会现象展开说明。
(1)考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.”这些事例都是在告诉人们过度使用手机带来的种种伤害。故A正确。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,”和第五段中的“But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family”可知A、B、D三项都是过度使用手机带来的危害。只有C项中的内容没有涉及。故选C。
(3)考查态度意图。根据第二段中卡通视频中列举的那些事例可知过度使用手机会给我们带来很多伤害,说明作者对低头族的所作所为持反对的态度。故B正确。
(4)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.”中作者提到低头族会让我们失去生命,带来很多社会问题。那么接下来要讨论就是如何减少人们过度使用手机。故C项正确。

When I was a child I thought a lot about what it means to love. I once asked my mother if she loved me or my father (many), certain that I knew the answer — me. Instead, she bent down and looked at me the eye, hands gently on each shoulder. She explained that she couldn't help(love) me and that the love of a mother for her baby was incredibly strong. But then she told me that the love she had for my daddy was a love of(choose), which made it special. Of all the people in the world, she chose and he chose her. Now that I'm married, I consider each day it takes to stay married as long as my parents have. It's not that I don't believe in romance. I believe more in the sacred of the ordinary. I believe in love that is sustained by deliberate (kind) and the choice to see little acts as testaments of love and commitment rather than indicators of a spark that has died of love communicated each time he cooks meals and I schedule his dental appointment. This picture of love is certainly less(excite), but decidedly real, and more romantic in its own way because of the weight of its (real).

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
After returning from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me 12 pounds,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12 pounds.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”
“That's fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course,she's only three ...”
“I'm four,” the child said proudly. “I'll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you?”
“Err, well ...” the woman looked at the child. “I mean …, she hasn't started school yet. She's only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket from Jersey costs .., let me see ... 13.50 pounds. The law is the law, but since the mistake is mine ...”

【题目】LAS VEGAS — It was different in the light of day.
There was no ‘pop, pop, pop’ of gunfire, no screams. Just a quiet lot of cars abandoned by those, like Kassidy Owen, who escaped with their lives.
“It’s strange to hear the silence,” Owen said, “because all I remember was the noise.”
The 22-year-old was one of dozens of concertgoers who returned to the scene of the Route 91 Harvest festival on Wednesday morning to fetch the vehicles they left behind as they fled from a gunman raining down bullets from high above in the tower of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino across the street.
Survivors of the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday needed their cars to move on with their lives — to get back to work, to school, home. It was the first time they were returning to a scene that would forever change them, when joy and celebration and music turned into killing and horror.
Before they could move forward, they had to go back to the place where they thought they were going to die.
Owen had run to her car to hide and had tried to drive away, but she couldn’t. People were running, bodies dropped to the ground, and cars bottlenecked in the parking lot. During a brief pause after more than 10 minutes of gunfire, she worried the lights of her SUV made everyone inside a shining target.
“They’re shooting again!” her best friend’s brother screamed. “‘Turn off the car!’”
That’s when she got out and fled.
“I just remember shutting the door and running,” Owen said.
Now, nearly three days later, she was back, sitting in the driver’s seat of her SUV. Her eyes were swollen and red. This was a long way from over.
“You just keep hearing the gunshots in your head,” Owen said.
【1】Why did Kassidy Owen return to the scene of terror?
A. To get back her car for daily life.
B. To show sympathy to the victims.
C. To search for her missing friends.
D. To look into the cause of the shooting.
【2】Where was the gunman when the mass shooting happened?
A. Behind a car. B. In the parking lot.
C. On the stage. D. In a tall building.
【3】Why did Owen keep hearing the gunshots in her head?
A. Because she had escaped being caught.
B. Because she wanted to find the gunman.
C. Because she couldn’t rid herself of those terrible scenes.
D. Because she had saved others’ lives by turning off the car.
【4】Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A story book. B. A newspaper.
C. A guide book. D. A research report.
